Video presentation recorded on July 8, 2020, published on Sept. 7, 2020, on "The Dangers of Transporting High-Level Radioactive Waste." Beyond Nuclear's radioactive waste specialist, Kevin Kamps, presents from the beginning to the 22 minute mark in the recording, followed by Tim Judson, Ex. Dir. of NIRS.
A big focus was the transport risk associated with consolidated interim storage facilities (de facto permanent, surface storage, parking lots dumps) for irradiated nuclear fuel, targeted at New Mexico and Texas, but also the permanent dump-site targeted at Western Shoshone land at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.
Catherine Skopic was a lead organizer of the event, and the Manhattan Sierra Club Chapter a primary sponsor.
